Join us for a n in-person presentation and book signing with Frank T. Waters III, of Avon, to celebrate the release of his book, A Drumstick for Thanksgiving Please.
Frank’s debut literary work fulfills a thirty-year-old promise he made to his father, a World War II fighter pilot. A
Drumstick for Thanksgiving Please chronicles realities of life in the 1940s, not only for the faithful US Air Force pilots, but also of their families during their absences.
With multiple family members away in Europe, the Waters family corresponded, even when one of them ended up as a POW in a German camp. Their close relationships carried them all through the war and beyond, proving that family ties make a difference when faced with adversity.
Follow the decades-long saga of one family who thrived despite the difficulties of a world at war.
